Good luck with that! This driver has been in the process of being
re-written for well over a year, I've long given up hope. Its
unfortunate as its in alot of netbooks including all the atom based
eeePCs. Fortunately rpmfusion has one that works reasonably well (it
even suspends and resumes!) appart from spewing massive amount of
debug into /var/log/messages (if left on about half a gig a day).
